Diving on the Nekton Rorqual they spent a dive or so on this pier as there are lots of seahorse and other interesting things to see. This is shot on Kodachrome 25 and is a very low resolution scan. Has to be the best 32 foot dive I have ever done, but the best way to do it is to walk to the end of the pier, jump in and swim back..... most of the really good stuff is almost all the way at the end of the pier. I saw 5 different seahorse and all sorts of other juvenile fish.......
